Byrd, Richard E
Typed letter, signed on letterhead of: Byrd Polar Expeditions/Room 3624 Navy Deptartment/ Washington 25, D.C./ January 26, 1950 - [Contents as follows]
No ISBN. Signed by Author. Dear Dr. Daugherty: I was much interested in the newspaper account of your work with connective tissues./ I had considerable correspondence with Goldblatt, who I believe carried on the same type of investigation as that conducted by Bogomolets. I would appreciate any information you can give me concerning this matter. I refer to the subject of tissues./ I have had to study medicine considerably due to the fact that I have been on detached duty in the far places so many times without doctors, that I have had to act as doctor myself. Also, I have had to make a study of diet./ You see, our expeditions generally last two years and during that time there's no fresh food available. (Exceptions to this are whale meat and seal meat)./ I hope I am not imposing on you. I got your address from the science editor of the Associated Press./ Incidentally, I expect to go to the Antarctic next season./ With best of good wishes, / Sincerely, [signature in manuscript] Richard E. Byrd./. [Below this is address of Dr. Daughtery - University of Utah, Salt lake City, Utah, REB:dmw). -- A signed letter with exceptionally good content. -- Very good condition.
